As a part of the City and Campus Transformation team at Perimeter Church, the church planting ministry seeks to advance the vision to reach out beyond the walls of the church in word and deed to the community, city, and world.
Our mission is to form gospel-rooted disciples of Christ who make and train disciples through planting new churches in strategic cities and communities.
Perimeter Church is committed to training men who have been called to church planting. Each man will learn from the history, vision, values, and best practices of the church. Our vision is that of “churches planting churches,” resulting in a church planting movement of His grace.
From our beginnings, founding pastor Randy Pope’s vision was to establish a ‘reproducing church.’ This has led to the launch of over 40 churches throughout Atlanta, Georgia since 1977. Today, our God-sized 300 Dream propels us forward toward a goal of 100 churches planted by our 75th anniversary in 2052. Watch this inspiring documentary and learn how Perimeter Church is making a difference through church planting and multicultural outreach in Atlanta and beyond.
Our Church Planter in Residence Program is a two-year program focused on training each resident in Perimeter’s best practices, giving him expertise in six professional competencies, and providing valuable on the job training. The training focuses on life and relationships, rather than merely on the content of each practice.
The resident will spend time learning both in the context of Perimeter and within the context of a recently planted church or daughter congregation.
Perimeter was involved in the formation of the Metro Atlanta Collective, formerly called the North Georgia Church Planting Network. A church planting network is an intentional shared relationship (prayer and community) between three or more church planters and key leaders in a region or city who share common values and vision to resource one another in the mission of starting, strengthening and multiplying new churches, for God’s glory and the region’s good.
Whether you are led to make an application as a church planter, offer services, resources, or abilities to one of our new church plants, or make a financial contribution, we look forward to hearing from you.
